I Have 100K for Speakers?


I saw a post today that caught my eye. New to the hobby and is looking t0 spend 50-100k for speakers. At that point is how far are we into "return on investment". There has to be a point where the $$ spent has no relation to the sound you get. I'm just questioning the point as to when does this get kind of silly..No?

Its about the same as these motorcycles.. A seat, handle bars and Wheels.. I mean they can cost you as much as a full blown advanced vehicle like a mercedes with everything in it, costing 100 times as much to build but they cost the same price as that chromed out loud 2 wheel ZERO technology machine.. People are born everyday that think they are getting good value, so it must be just in the eye of the beholder. There is no answer to this, you just need to pick your own battles as to what value is regardless how good a certain product is.
I think your musical taste plays a big factor to the ROI.

Most budget of high $ speakers goes to improving the Bass and SPL performance. so if your favourite music doesn't contain lots of Bass and you don't need it loud (how big is your room?), then the ROI goes down the pipe very quickly.
hey, it's people like this who later sell their mint, not very used equipment for hefty discounts - it's part of the high end 'trickle down' economy.
I don't think there is anything wrong with spending 100K on speakers if you have the money and you get 100k sound - even in terms of diminishing returns; I just don't think you need to spend that to get the best sound available with variations for personal taste - if 30K in today's market can't do it for you in terms of sound quality, your not going to find better sound spending more IMHO.
